- Subject: courtesy in following network conventions for subject lines
- Lines: 32
-
- Recently I have deleted a whole batch of mideur-l messages headed with a
- "books and films" subject line, as the first few exchanges on that topic
- didn't interest me. Now I see that people are discussing other issues
- altogether under that "subject", some of which DO in fact interest me.
-
- I'd like to ask contributors to the list to put appropriate subject lines
- on their messages. I realize it is easier to simply use "Answer" or
- "Reply" than to type out the list address and enter a subject line, but it
- isn't consistent with the principle of honestly advertising your
- contribution.
-
- Many of us get so many messages every day that we use subject line
- information to decide whether to read or delete a message.
-
- Thank you, and happy new year to all.
